Eee PC 901Go Unboxed and with 3G

October 15, 2008 4 Comments

The new Asus Eee PC 901Go has been unboxed and photographed by Mobile01 who have posted the pics up on their site.

The Eee PC 901Go (aka the Eee PC 901 HSUPA 3.5G) is basically a 901 model with the addition of a 3.5G HSUPA modem which is fitted inside the netbook to boost connectivity and a sim card slot for use with cellular phones, ideal for a quick, easy, hack free 3G connection to the net.

Asus have produced a netbook with mobile use in mind with the Eee PC 901Go and have perhaps ‘listened’ to their consumers by taking away the need to hack the Eee PC to connect using 3G.

Pricing isn’t clear yet but, it is presumed that if you purchase one of these netbooks on a contract for data services, the 901Go will be free or without contract Just Eee have posted that this Eee PC will cost 399 euros.

Here is a quick rundown of the specs in the 901Go with the unboxing images below:

Screen: 8.9 inches (1024×600 pixels)

CPU: Intel Atom 1.6GHz

Memory: 1GB RAM

Storage: 16GB SSD split into two parts – 8GB which houses the OS with room for storage and 8GB for storage. SD card slot.

    Does ASUS actually want to _sell_ these Eee-pcs in Europe?

    Go to their _slow_ customer unfriendly website and try to find an _email-address_ where you can ask for a dealer which offers an Eee PC 901Go with a Belgian azerty
    keyboard and Linux pre-installed.
    Note that the Eee PC 901Go is still not on their website
    (I’m wrting this december the 2nd of 2008)
    There is a dealer for ASUS Eee-PCs in Belgium called “laptopshop.be”
    I asked them for an Eee-PC 901 -not a Go which wasn’t available then-
    with Linux pre-installed, they answered they didn’t sell that model and
    that was it, end of the line.
    I then tried out “http://www.linux-onlineshop.de”, they do have a nice
    hardware section which offers the Eee-PC 901Go, you can even ask for
    2Gbyte ram and for a 16Gbyte
    SDHC-card, all done quite nicely, unfortunately they don’t sell it with a Belgian azerty-keyboard (which I can understand, it’s a German shop)
    There is also a company which sells Eee-PC in the French-speaking part of Belgium
    http://www.ldlc.be/, when asking them whether they offer it with a Belgian azerty
    keyboard, they answer it is a _French_ azerty keyboard (which is too different for me), once again: end of the line.
    What is it with Asus?, they have a bestseller (the Eee-pc 901(Go)), the format is ideal, not too large, not too heavy, great battery life, SSD-technology …nice price, but they just don’t seem to know how or want to sell it. Yes, ASUS-people might complain about recession and sales which don’t climb as expected but maybe they should first learn “HOW TO SELL A PRODUCT”

    ASUS problem or Belgian market size (small) and characteristics problem (customer service just average)?
